866726 2010-03-28 00:37:00 They reduced to 320b lol to reduce the production cost, but its already $700 for the 470, and $1000NZD for the 480? I can't imagine the price of the 512mb model lol.

I'm not sure what benchies you are looking at, but the GTX 480 SLI gets whooped by a single 5970 in most benchies. The 5970 is essentially 2 lwoer clocked 5870. So i would think 2x 5870 rapes the GTX 480.

The 470 doesn't beat the 5870 at all. And Nvidias intent was not to beat it. Its about on par with the 5850, which is only $450-500NZD while the 470 is $700. The 5870 is also around $100 cheaper than the 470 and beats the crap out of it. Your benchies your looking at are pretty questionable tbh.

And mehhh on the metro 2033 game tbh, its favoured by the nvidia architecture, and prob have extreme tesstelation support. lol

Dont know what you are talking about re: production costs
as for benchies, looks to me like the 470 competes very well against the 5870..

Still need convincing?

866727 2010-03-28 00:41:00 oh, missed this one...

You cant say that the 470 doesnt compare with the 5870, and driver updates will make it better....You will have to get over ATi losing the crown, thats not to say they dont have a great GPU for the money.

866728 2010-03-28 03:03:00 SolMiester there is not a "huge" difference between a 470 and a 480, with the ATi 5870 in between the performance of those two cards as largely predicted.

You can say the 470 is competitive against the 5870 sure, but you can equally argue the 5870 is competitive against the 480 being only around 15% slower

yeah, some shaders and clocks, also memory bus...i dont think their has ever been a card that really dominates the other from a previous generation with the exception of perhaps the G80.....there are some big differences though where the 4x0 shine, as I would of thought so....the nv chip is a V8 to the turbo ricer of the ATi in a way...lol.

However, I was getting tired of ollie persistent stance of rubbishing the card...
It maybe hot, and power hungry, but it is the fastest, will get faster...

866730 2010-03-28 21:29:00 Dude nivida cards are crap as hell. They just make up for it with physx. That said they just pay the game publisher to make physx better.

An example is mirrors edge. Nvidia paid the game publisher to add a couple of flags here and there when physx is enabled. now really, how can you think that ati cards can't run that little eye-candy things ? if the publisher wanted to, he could have put those flags and other things to be there for everyone, not just for nvidia cards users.

Ollie, I cant be bother arguing with someone who's been gaming for 5 minutes. If you feel the need to trash NV because you have an ATi card, fine!

Thats like the AMD versus INtel argument .
Competition is good . Having a choice is good .
I have no preference between Nvidia or ATI, I just want whoever has the best performing card at the time I make my purchase .

866733 2010-03-29 00:09:00 I like bigger and better cards coming out too. It means some prices get down to my level. Sweep (90)
